Most
folks are in too big a hurry to learn all the details these days. People
want facts condensed into fragments of information, believing that a
bullet comment, headline, sound bite, blog posting or bumper sticker
can take the place of thorough research, careful analysis and in-depth
study.

Jesus
said God’s law and all the warnings of his prophets hang on the
first commandment and the supplemental commandment to love our neighbor.
Those of us who know him know this is true. But what do these commandments
mean to an ignorant generation who know nothing about our Creator? How
can the stupid masses learn enough about God in order to understand
why he gave his only begotten Son to save them from a hell they don’t
believe exist? Without all 66 books of the Bible, the world
would be in darkness. In fact, some folks have made a profession of
keeping people in mental and spiritual darkness. They substitute biblical
history, moral law and prophetic warnings with a feel-good, socialist
gospel. They’ve even replaced the old-time hymns with mindless
choruses empty of doctrine and faith.

Both
liberals and neo-cons (pseudo-conservatives) call evil good and good
evil. They don’t get along with each other, but they work for
the same fellah. If you’re not in the habit of studying the Bible,
you’re not likely to know that fellah by name. He’s the
fellah I allude to repeatedly
in my book, the one who wants to control knowledge, all
knowledge – academic and biblical knowledge. He has lots
of workers willing to do his dirty work. Many of them are even disguised
as ministers of light. But they’re just false prophets.

Remember
when we all got excited about the tirades of the irreverent Jeremiah
Wright then his cohort, the irreverent Michael
Pfleger. Their venom filled the headlines and sound bites for weeks.
But how many folks do you suppose took the time to visit Obama’s
church web site before political expedience forced him to seek a new
church – you know, the National Church of Humanism,
the one established by the Supreme Court over a 40 year period. First,
they outlawed Bible reading then prayer then the Ten Commandments in
public schools, all the while supporting the federal mandate that Darwinism
(one of the three basic doctrines of Humanism – a.k.a., Darwinism,
Socialism and Moral Relativism) be taught in supposedly state (public)
schools.

Unless
you want to read
my book (Chapter Twelve), I’ll have to save that argument
for another NWVs article. Right now I want to talk about the headlines
so few Americans are apparently able to read, really read –
public education being what it is today (thanks to the Supreme Court
and others).

Obama
gave us his political spin on how he sat in a church for 20 years and
never heard Wright’s maliciously racist, anti-American hatred
being preached to a very accommodating congregation. The sound bites
of sermons by Wright and Pfleger that I watched on TV had quite a few
“Amens” coming from the pews. Obama’s writing off
their treasonous remarks as something “we need to talk about in
this country” is an understatement of all understatements! If
we’re going to have an honest dialogue about racism in this country,
we need to talk about where ALL the hatred is coming from!!!

Obama’s
former church has changed its web site in the last few weeks. At least
now Jesus is mentioned though awkwardly at best. He still seems more
like the Koran’s Jesus than the Bible’s Jesus. Hidden now
is their call for redistribution of wealth (i.e., socialism). Instead,
there is an obscure reference about “working toward Economic Parity.”
Still sounds socialistic to me. What do you think?

One
thing that has not changed on its web site is its claim to be “Unashamedly
Black” and its “nonnegotiable Commitment to Africa.”
Think about these statements a minute, please.

If
I said I don’t celebrate my ancestral heritage because they talk
funny and their men wear skirts, I would be lying. I strongly admire
historic figures like William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and, yes, even
James Stewart (if only because he authorized the most trustworthy English
translation of the Bible). I’m proud of my Scottish heritage.
But I’m not a Scotsman. I’m an American.
Yes, by the grace of God, I’m a Southern American, but
even that I don’t hold against others less fortunate. Providence
never intended for everyone to enjoy grits with their eggs or sweet
tea with their BBQ, fried chicken, fried steak, fried fish and anything
else worth frying.

Several
months ago, I listened to a political speech by a prominent black mayor.
He said he was opposed to the idea of America as a “melting pot,”
preferring to think of America as a “salad” in which all
people came together in one bowl with their distinct flavors still intact.
My problem with his analogy is the salad itself. I’m not a vegan.
I like my veggies cooked, seasoned with meat (not tofu). Let the potatoes,
tomatoes, carrots, onions, corn and beans stew together with the beef,
pork and chicken. Their separate flavors will come together to make
something new. That’s what America was supposed to be –
something new. The Old World, whether it was in Europe, Africa,
Asia or South America must have had problems enough for them to leave
it. So leave it! Let it go or go back to it! Those who express
concern about the violent hatred being preached in Saudi
Arabian schools need to consider how many “unashamedly black”
churches like Chicago’s Trinity
United Church of Christ are preaching racial hatred with a SOCIALIST
agenda in this country!

We
all need to take a closer look at the headlines we read and listen a
little more closely to political sound bites. I do if only because I
have a suspicious nature. When I read or hear reports about preparations
for pandemic influenza or other diseases, I can’t help wondering
what elitists are planning now. And I can’t help but feeling paranoid
when I read so many articles about efforts to fight the “stigma”
of mental health problems and why our military especially wants its
service members to feel free to seek help if they’re living with
symptoms of combat stress disorders or suffer from some other emotional
issue.

Only
six months ago, Benedict Bush signed the Veterans
Disarmament Act, which legally takes away the 2nd Amendment rights
of any veteran ever deemed by the VA to have suffered from post traumatic
stress disorder or depression. Elitists fear veterans because we tend
to be the largest group of Americans trained to use firearms and
military tactics. Moreover, we’re still under oath to protect
and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies,
foreign and domestic. I pray today’s men and women in uniform
realize they don’t have to follow illegal orders for
them to violate the Constitution and use force against their parents,
grandparents and all those who served before them when we refuse to
give up our right to keep and bear arms.

Please
note the Shakespearean character I quoted at the start of this article.
Polonius was a hypocritical, babbling fool, the adviser to murderous
King Claudius. If he truly believed in brevity, he certainly didn’t
follow his own advice. Do you suppose his counsel is one you should
follow? I don’t, even though I sometime say things off the cuff
that get misconstrued because of my brevity. A lady emailed me about
my last NWVs article, agreeing partly with my assessment of our Knowledge
Crisis but taking issue with me for lamenting about military chaplains
no longer praying in Jesus’ name. She’s partly right. We’re
not a Christian nation, at least not anymore.

Back
when we were a Christian nation, our chaplains
and pastors and citizens in general openly prayed in Jesus’ name
and we were blessed by God as a nation. Not anymore. What I
should have explained in that article was the two-fold problem with
supposedly Christian chaplains being restricted from praying
in Jesus’ name. First, if chaplains’ prayers can be controlled
by the military (a.k.a., government), they work for the government,
not God, and as such, they’re of no use to God or the government.
You cannot serve two masters. Second, if chaplains’ prayers can
be governed, what’s to stop the government from one day controlling
how and to whom we civilians can pray?

As
surely as the sun will rise tomorrow, this will happen, maybe soon.
Too few of us today “walk circumspectly” to prevent it.
The best we can do now is delay the wrath to come. To do that, let me
leave you with some thoughts about bumper stickers, sound bites and
headlines.

Even
the simple understand when they see a bumper sticker that reads “Pro
Choice,” the driver of that vehicle thinks murder is
a mere matter of choice. But what about “Hate is not a
family value”? The homomaniac driving that vehicle
is a gay or lesbian who believes anyone that opposes gay marriage or
anything else on the gay agenda is a hate monger. One day they’ll
try to outlaw or at least censor the King
James Version Bible alluded to earlier, if only because it calls
sin sin, most specifically calling homosexuality an “abomination
unto to Lord.” Unlike modern versions, the KJV doesn’t replace
“sodomite” and “effeminate” with “male
shrine prostitute” or “immoral person.” What is an
immoral person anyway? All things are relative, right?

When
I hear a political ad sound bite promising “Hope and Peace,”
I think of a warning in Daniel
11:21. Do you remember Obama’s sound bite acceptance speech
on winning the Socialist, I mean, Democratic Party’s nomination?
He said this country was the greatest country in history then he called
on his “friends” to help him change it. Think about that
stupid statement then think about this. With friends like Wright, Pfleger,
Louis Farrakhan
and every other low life, anti-Christian, anti-American slime on the
planet, what sort of changes do you suppose he has in mind?

One
day expect to read the following headline, “Cult leaders
arrested.” No, it won’t be fringe, nut-case, genuine
cult types but Bible-believing Christians. It won’t stop
with arrests alone, or with just our leaders. And it’ll happen
because we’ve let it happen a little bit at a time. The
frog is still in the pot and the water is about to boil.
I praise the prophetic wisdom of my fellow NWVs writers and especially
Chuck Baldwin’s bold stand for the Constitution and the Bible.
We tried but the country wouldn’t listen. We should concentrate
now on saving souls rather than saving a nation bent on killing itself.
Our Lord never promised to save nations anyway, just those who believe
in him. When you see the above headlines, the same Jesus who saved us
from hell will save us from this world. Even so, come Lord Jesus –
and quickly, please.

R.C.
Murray is a disabled veteran and former public school teacher. He left
a good job as a technical writer for a satellite manufacturer in order
to teach high school English, only to immediately be told he could not
expect, much less require his students to read their literature assignments.
After four years of fighting The System and having a stroke then a mini-stroke,
he decided he was safer in the airborne infantry and returned to being
a technical writer for a military contractor.

He
has also dedicated the rest of his life to exhorting parents about what�s
really going on in their local public school, the one they think is a
good school. R.C. Murray is the author of two books, Golden Knights: History
of the U.S. Army Parachute Team and most recently, Legally
STUPiD: Why Johnny doesn�t have to read.
